Cool Companies

Check out our Riot Roll of cool companies, which we rioters appreciate. What constitutes placement on the Riot Roll? Well, the company must be ...

• A leader not a follower
• Open to the world
• Innovative
• Down to earth and approachable
• Rioters!

The Roll

The first Riot Roll was created in honor of MacWorld 2005 — we saw so much inventiveness in one place. Following innovative, out-of-the-box companies like Apple is an important source of inspiration. Plus, we have been called the iPod of the chocolate world. Sweet!

The Roll includes:

iSkin — they were there first creating protective skins for our iPods. They are a cool group of young founders from Canada who put design first. One of their latest designs is Japanese Anime created by an Italian artist.

Crumpler — this Aussie company has a great vibe and great products. They are approachable, open, and a bit quirky. Their giveaway at the show was a red apple with a crumpler sticker on it.

Honorable Mentions:

PumpPod — fitness on your iPod

iFace — a Taiwanese based company with beautifully designed skins

Etchamac — they can etch amazing artwork on your computer shell — wow!

LifePod — now you can buy a boombox bag and plug in your iPod!
